Number Seven: Bubba Bean

In the 1976 NFL Draft the Falcons took Bubba Bean, running back out of Texas A&M. Long story short, he lasted three seasons in a league that was very running back focused. All three of his seasons combined look like just one of Devonta Freeman’s, in what’s become a passing-oriented league. Tallying 1,528 yards and 6 career rushing touchdowns, after being a top 10 pick, no thank you.
